This time around its Outlook email system is taking an extraordinary amount of time to sync to other email systems. As reader Jonathan Lunt explains:

While syncing outlook to our corporate email system I was rather shocked to see the "status" window informing be there was 1193046 hours remaining for the sync to complete. Thats, erm, 136 years (give or take a few days). Is this a record?

We're not sure - we'll have to wait till we try and install Vista.

Seems like Microsoft users are going to have to learn to be veeery patient. ®
